Akhshually Jesus would have been speaking Aramaic. So even if Matthew wrote his Gospel in Greek it may not necessarily be the most accurate translation of what Jesus actually said. /end pedantry

In any case, the "gospel of prosperity" types in Christianity are second only to the "secretly a sex pest" types in regards to how obnoxious they are and how much of a black eye they give to Christianity's reputation.

Because we aren't talking about anime in general. We are talking about one specific person's personal experiences with the subset of anime they watch.

If I say "she" when talking about generic protagonists in some Miyazaki films I've seen, are you going to say I'm wrong and should say "he" instead because some genre of anime I've never heard of is popular with some demographic I'm not a part of?

If that's really how you think, then do you also opine that we should say "she" rather than "he" when talking about generic human beings, seeing as women outnumber men? Somehow I suspect not.
Exactly! Reselling at a better estimates of real value make a market more efficient.

In two ways. The immediate is when they buy or sell a miss-priced asset, the other side of the trade benefits from a slightly more accurate price.

Then the market as a whole benefits from reduced risk, as the miss-pricing gets reduced. Whether or not each individual buys, sells, or abstained based on the more accurate valuation.

—

The problem with insiders isn’t that they have unique information on miss-pricing, and are trading on it.

It is that, one, if they are allowed to trade on miss-pricing they are highly incentivized to create it.

And two, they are leveraging the shareholder’s property, the company’s private information, against the shareholders. Despite insiders only having been been given access to that information, explicitly or opportunistically, in order to provide benefits to the shareholders.
It wasn’t a fight, it was more like trolling. It could be practicing delay tactics or entrapment or something, but still this implication of this being some kind of evolutionary driven behavior as distinguished from the novel pursuits of humans is wrong. All human behavior can also be attributed to evolutionary fitness, and this garners no distinction in terms of whether a being would be conscious or not
in addition you basically get punished for being a good driver with not having a history of rash driving, subsidizing the bad drivers.

Satya Nadella's Microsoft memo on putting security first
Good grief, which part of Europe are you from ... Concretia?

Even in the UK we describe our normal building habit as "sticks n bricks" and there are a lot of sticks. Under my feet, right now, there are wooden joists and a plywood subfloor. I live on a hill. Some ground floor (first floor) rooms have solid conc. sub floors but the other half has the usual (1930s) two foot cavity, involving brick piers on conc raft and wooden joists to slap the floor across.

We still have a large stock of wattle and daub cottages with thatched roof too.

Every other country in Europe I have ever visited has rather a lot of wooden buildings in it too. I lived in West Germany for some years, for example.

Sticks and bricks lends itself to an environment with plenty of mud and fewer trees. It is quite brittle so no earthquakes thank you. The UK's largest recent earthquake was basically a knee trembler.

Working programmers write proofs in a limited sense. Any time you write types you're writing a proof. Maybe it's a stretch to say "const a: int = b;" is a proof, but when you get into higher-order types in TypeScript it's appropriate.

Firefox switch to tab, my friend. You open a new tab, start typing the title of the page or the address of the site and it shows up in autocomplete with a switch to tab indicator and when selected it moves you to that tab instead of opening a copy.
This is why I think interactive proof assistants (as opposed to "automatic" ones like Dafny), are a better starting point for learning. You're still gonna need to learn some higher level concepts, but you won't have the frustrating experience of the automation just failing and leaving you shrugging.

Software Foundations is great: https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu

If you stick with it long enough, you'll even build up to Hoare logic which is the underpinning the tools like dafny use to generate the equations they throw to the solver.
Landlords by and large do not build houses. They buy up existing stock and coordinate with other landlords to constrain supply and raise rents. I dunno who you think is going to believe these fairy tales, but they’re transparently false to anyone with like an 8th grade reading level:

> most people who rent have no intention to move out but expect the contract to be renewed

What this expectation is based on? You can't just "expect" other people to act for your benefit.

> in some jurisdictions this is even enforced by law

These jurisdictions likely have constant problems with their rental market, unless it's captured by the state or similar entity. It would be very strange for a willing person to enter a contract which essentially deprives them of control of their property forever.

> so they are not changing the deal unilaterally

Yes they are, unless their rental contract specifies that they are entitled to rent this property forever. I have not seen any such contract so far.

> in fact the landlord who wants the renter to move out is the one who is unilaterally changing the deal.

Again, this is not true unless the contract specifically promises the renter that they are entitled to be renting forever - which usually is not the case, and I am not sure why would any landlord sign such contract and lose the control of their property forever.
Yeah, but that has nothing to do with the context of the question. Someone is specifically asking about accessing a GPU over the internet for video games.
ITER is like electric cars. There’s no point in spending millions to design a new EV until the battery technology exists. That’s the key limiter, not the “rest of the car”.

For fusion, this key technology limiter is the superconducting magnetic tape. Even small improvements in field strength have a dramatic non-linear improvement in fusion power gain. ITER started their design work decades ago and will continue construction for decades more. Meanwhile, SC magnetic tape technology has moved on, making the entire enterprise a dead-end waste of time and money. They got bogged down in the paperwork and bureaucracy of the “rest of the facility” with no hope of making actual working reactor.

There are many instances of this issue in industry, and in my experience large government bureaucracies are pathologically incapable of planning ahead for where the puck will be instead of where the puck was.

I like to imagine what would happen if a rich industrialist like Bezos or Musk approached the problem: First, spend a few billion on superconductor tape research and then start building many small reactors that are minimal test beds while in parallel improving the magnets. Only “go big” once the reactor can produce net power.

See also: NASA spending billions per launch on the SLS with a couple of test launches per decade while SpaceX spends millions per Starship and plans half a dozen test launches this year!
> Why? Why are there men who demand 50-whatever billion payouts in a country where not everyone has a place to sleep?

It is my firm belief the US is only good if you’re rich. If you aren’t rich, well, you slave away to make other people rich.

The rich however need the poor to make their food, fix their cars, serve them lattes, deliver their groceries.

The only thing that will really effect change is if the poor (in vastly greater numbers) stands up and takes the boot off their necks.
Most engineers are perfectly capable of understanding this specification without an explanation of each term. We can deal with ambiguity. So can ML models; that's what they're for. When we are not sure, we can ask for clarification or look it up. So can today's LLMs...

I think natural language programming is a lot like dealing with a contractor.
I received a call from Capital One recently. Dude was trying to tell me that I had charges made in Georgia, have I been to been to Georgia recently, they think it's fraud. The phone connection was terrible, his Indian accent was THICK, I could hear other people in the call center. I've dealt with CO fraud department before- they didn't sound at all like this. I asked him for the last four of the card number used because I have multiple cards with them. He gives me the first six numbers. I tell him that only tells me that it is a Visa/MC/Amex/Discover and what bank. Stop trying to scam me. He got upset and hung up. I called CO directly and they had no idea what I was talking about. Just another scammer.
I’m surprised dev/urandom doesn’t count as a dependency!
That's because the "prosperity gospel" faction (also called "pray and display" and "gab and grab") is so very open about money and the good life, it's in fact their core part of religious practice.

When a regular person says "heaven has blessed me with this and that", that's making a statement of fact, that person says he has this and that and he credits the deity, nothing more. But when a prosperity gospel guy says such, that person is engaging in theurgy. He believes that the deity blessed him in such and such a manner and by publicising the fact the deity must necessarily bless him with much much more money.

Positive thinking and "law of attraction" is less overtly Christian but made from the same cloth and just as detestable.

If you find that theology distasteful, childish or blasphemous you are not alone.
The best guidance on avoiding diabetes or living with it is found on YouTube and not the ADA. The ADA guidance and standards of care are often incorrect or outdated or very conservative. For example standard care says you can’t reverse insulin resistance, which is just plain wrong.
They consume more than bookmarks because they have the current page content and context and the navigation history. Firefox does a good job minimizing the memory this takes, but it's non-zero. For that reason I rarely go above about 400 tabs in a session. My wife, on the other hand, is OK with swap to a fast SSD that I'm not OK with and has several thousand tabs loaded at any given time.
I read Intellectuals by Paul Johnson and it occurs to me that even generously doubting the book, Bertrand Russell comes off as a real scumbag, complete womanizer, generally untethered person and despite being prodigiously intelligent, simply unwise.

Also defending idleness seems like the sort of opinion the well-off espouse, Russell carried around accounting of every cent he made, just to cheer him up whenever he felt down.
Much of the iron being mined today was deposited about 2.4 billion years ago, when ferrous iron in the oceans was oxidized and precipitated out as insoluble oxides in Banded Iron Formations.

There are even petroleum deposits whose source rocks go back a billion years. And most coal was deposited in the Carboniferous (thus the name).
Fun fact: the estimated cost of extracting uranium from seawater is $1000/kg [1] (the link shows a lower number, but I'm making it round and higher to account for inflation), which is about 7 times higher than the current market price. If we were to use this, it would increase the price of nuclear generated electricity by ¢0.83/kWh. For comparison the average price of electricity in the US in February 2024 (last month published) was ¢ 16.1 / kWh.

Here's the math, for those curious: modern nuclear power plants produce about 50 GWd per ton of uranium fuel. It takes about 10 tons of mined uranium to produce one reactor grade ton (because of the enrichment). So, that's about 5 GWd per ton, or 120000 MWh/T, or 120000 kWh/kg. If one kg of Uranium is $1000, you get 120000 kWh out of that, which comes at $1/120 = ¢0.83 per kWh.

The public-facing contact form (and stupid chatbot) are for people who didn't bother to read the FAQs, shipping information, return policies... basically the rest of the website in a very structured format with numerous links and in proper hierarchy with breadcrumbs. That's why the public-facing contact form is long and have friction.

If you're in the 80% who had self-checked out and paid, you probably won't ever see the contact form and have our customer service email address in a proper "purchase successful" email and you simply reply to that for any follow-up or help.
I find that justification not only not convincing, but utterly repulsive. Governments shouldn't be in the business of praising themselves.
> As for zero knowledge proofs, there is little practical use, significance, or relevance to them due to the overhead involved and the lack of a "killer app", so to speak. But they're conceptually interesting.

This is just plain wrong. There are numerous applications in the blockchain space where the overhead is tolerable because they provide properties (privacy, succinct verification) that other techniques cannot provide.

Their relevance to blockchains has led to massive reductions in the overhead, making it quite plausible that ZKPs will find use in settings where integrity is a must.

For example, you could prove that a particular binary is the resulting of compiling source code that satisfies particular properties, such as memory safety. This would allow you to skip unnecessary safety checks.

If they bought the super computer with the goal of doing actual computation I really hope they know what they're getting themselves into. For example: if you just look at the clock speed and the cores you might think that you can calculate some kind of cost to do the work you need. But that would be extremely simplistic because the way CPUs work is so complex. CPUs have features that will execute certain work loads faster, that can cache certain instructions, and be more efficient with the same resources. So you might have CPUs that have a lower clock speed and core number that still blow older CPUs (that 'look better') out of the water.

It can be hard to know how well your CPU is going to perform with the instructions you generate until you have it tbh. You could get a sense of how fast it is compared to other processors with benchmarks. But I don't know how accurate it's going to be overall. A lot of the time you end up with unexpected results; CPUs that seem cheap are usually cheap for a reason though.
You can get these chips on eBay for quite cheap now. I run a couple in a dual Xeon home server.

But imo, the power consumption is just not worth it. Might just switch to a regular desktop running an i5.
By that logic you could further include semi trucks that deliver groceries by extension. Pick your side.
what did you learn? very interested
That's great, except (1) the thermal environment is all wrong, (2) ditto for the radiation environment, (3) that just pushes back the need for justification to long distance spaceflight. Justifications for space activities that amount to "enables other space activities" are an example of what's called a "self-licking ice cream cone".

There were plenty of non-self-referential justifications for ISS (like growing protein crystals, or space manufacturing) that never really went anywhere.

Ironically, maybe the best justification was it shows large space structures can be assembled from small units, so large launch vehicles aren't needed. NASA has of course totally ignored this lesson with SLS.
I don’t think it would be anytime soon but I could definitely see someone making an argument around climate.
Usually people use words so that other people will understand them. If your internal definition doesn't match nearly anyone else's, maybe you're using the word wrong.
If that were the case, we could let the trees be logged which I'm sure industries are scrambling to do, seems like a win-win? The fact that it hasn't happened would imply it is not the case.
OK at least the idea that it’s mostly sectarian disputes makes sense.

I do wonder though, if most Corps want as much leverage and rights for themselves, why did Linux largely “win” in the enterprise world.
Rest In Peace.

I was a pre-teen when I first learned to program on a TRS-80 Model 1. I was, at the time, an expert in BASIC and Z80 assembly.

At the same time I was asking my parents for quarters to play space invaders. And that's where I feel this article.

These are the shoulders I stood on. There were people who made that first generation of video games and personal computers. I benefited from their work. Their work launched me into what has been a great career.

But they are aging out and dying. Their work was foundational. And, at least to me, inspirational.
The most surprising detail of this story has has nothing to do with the wholly unsurprising fact that someone can buy off the notoriously self promoting and, err, entrepreneurial Hawass.

It's that one can become a billionaire from hawking yet another generic, unknown (to me, at least) loyalty points program. There must be hundreds of these in existence, but I've yet to meet anybody who actually uses them unless they are part of a larger product offering such as a well-known credit card, restaurant, retail store, airline etc. And even most of those seem hardly sufficient material to build a personal billion dollar fortune from.

> "don't do your own research"

Does anybody say that? I see a lot of "some guy making a convincing-seeming argument on youtube is not doing your own research unless you fact check it by legitimately looking for omitted or incorrect statements, because there's a million crazy echo chambers out there".

"Do your own research" can be a red flag, but only because so many people are bad at research, not because research is bad. It's important to look for comprehensive information and not just search for what you already think is correct.

other comment> The "trust the authorities" perspective currently en vogue is certainly not that "doing your own research works." It's that one needs an MD or PhD in a medical field in order to evaluate research, and hence should defer judgment on personal decisions to such qualified individuals (or more often, in practice, to institutions which purport to speak for them like the AMA, AAP, or American Diabetes Association).

It's not that you need it, it's that you'd better put serious effort in to make up for it, and you need to take scientific consensus very seriously (Which is not the same as listening to the most prominent voices. But if almost every expert top to bottom is saying the same thing, they're almost certainly right.)

And for 95% of things, you're not going to put in enough research to understand from base principles. So if you're outsourcing, outsource to someone competent.

Doing this would be worth so much money that if you can do it, you should. You’ll make a mint. Currently, islet cell transplants are possible, but barely available.

The insurance companies that pay for a lot of the supplies you talk about would prefer a one stop solution if it costs less. The big expense due to diabetics for insurance companies is not those consumables, it’s the consequences of dialysis and amputations.
> Why?

If you're actually interested in learning why the homelessness situation in a particular area is how it is, you can pore over the countless (politicized) discussions of the issue to start piecing together the concrete issues and factors that contribute to it, beyond the vague notion of "rich country has homeless". Alternatively, take a specific example of one of those "50-whatever billion payouts", and your idea for converting it into the right combination of land-near-San-Jose, housing construction, mental health care, actual improvements to mental health, caretakers, government workers, outreach, policing, jobs programs, public infrastructure, etc, etc that's supposed to solve homelessness there. The internet commentariat is bound to have people eager to impolitely point out the issues in that plan.
